Rally Description:
The Buffalo Run Rally is best described, to those who have never run one, as a scavenger hunt on two wheels.
The goal of the Rallymaster is to encourage participants to ride some of the best motorcycle roads in the Upper Midwest
by providing a set of unique and interesting bonus locations (places) which they must find. Each bonus location has a
point value and you can't possibly get to all of them so ... it's a puzzle.
Get to as many bonus locations as possible to collect the highest number of points within the timeframe specified and you win.
This is not a race and excessive speeding will not be not tolerated. At the end of the rally day, riders return to rally HQ with stories, memories and score sheets.
If you like motorcycle riding and would like to try a motorcycle scavenger rally, the Buffalo Run would be an excellent rally to start with.
Dates And Times:
- There is an optional rider meeting on Friday, August 21 at 7:00 PM (location TBD). The rally packet with bonus locations will be handed out at this meeting. GPX, KML, and TXT files will be handed out via email or a flash drive at the rider meeting. If you've never ridden a rally like this, help will be available.
- Checkin, Q & A, and Final Instructions at 7:00 AM Saturday, August 22nd at the Community Center.
- Rally Start: 8:00 AM Saturday, August 22 from the Community Center.
- Rally End: 6:00 PM on Saturday, August 22 at the Community Center. If you're late it's a DNF (Did Not Finish).
Additional Details:
- Food/Drinks will be available for the rider meeting on Friday, but they will not be provided by the Club.
- Grab and go breakfast items will be available on Saturday morning before the rally.
- Rider Banquet will be served at 6:45 PM on Saturday evening - Pulled Pork, Potato Salad, Beans and Coleslaw.
- Awards will be handed out when scoring is completed on Saturday evening.
- Rally swag will include a swag bag, a few other surprises and finisher awards.
Accommodations:
- There isn't an official rally motel but there are a handful of lodging options in New Ulm
Rally Theme and Details:
The 2026 Buffalo Run will be a ten-hour rally. There will be four classes: Expert, Experienced, Novice and Team.
This year's Buffalo Run will focus on excellent roads and interesting locations in the New Ulm area and Minnesota River valley.
Two things I can promise is that there will be excellent riding and pie, there's always pie Dave.
